Amador County – Amador County Fair announced this week that it now is selling “e-tickets” online, with which people cans save money and time.

Karen Spencer, fair publicist said for people with “kids who can’t get enough of the carnival rides at the Amador County Fair, now is the time to save money on advance-sale wristbands.” She said anyone who has stood in line for an hour to buy Destruction Derby tickets the day of the event will appreciate the convenience of ordering a reserved seat on-line.

The Fair has a number of opportunities that make it a bit more affordable and save time when you buy your Fair and Carnival tickets early using their new e-ticket system. Purchases can also be made through the Fair office.

In addition to selling discounted Fair admission and carnival rides, advanced purchases can also be made for the annual Wine Tasting event on Friday and the Grandstand events. Seating for the Destruction Derby, which is often a sell-out, will be all reserved seating this year, Spencer said. General admission seating is offered for the Truck Pulls on Friday and there is reserved plus general admission seating for the Rodeo on Saturday.

People can save on the cost of carnival rides by purchasing discount tickets or wristbands in advance. A $20 coupon purchased by Wednesday, July 27 can be exchanged for an unlimited ride wristband, good for any one day, that can be used from noon to 7 p.m., or a sheet of 24 tickets. During the Fair, ride tickets will cost $1 each and rides take three to five tickets each. Wristbands purchased during the Fair will cost $30.

Carnival hours are noon until the Fair closes each day, except Thursday when limited rides will open following the Kids Parade. The carnival also provides one complimentary ride ticket for kids who participate in the parade.
